Alibris enjoys a generally positive reputation among customers, particularly for its wide selection of used books at competitive prices and reliable shipping. Many customers appreciate the timely delivery and the ability to track orders, contributing to overall satisfaction. However, concerns arise regarding the variability in book conditions, with some items not meeting expectations, and delays in shipping for urgent needs. Additionally, the separate shipping fees for each book can deter purchases. Despite these issues, the platform remains a favored choice for many due to its extensive inventory and user-friendly website.

My book was sent from USA to Canada and took rather a long time to arrive but I KNEW that this type of postage could take a long time. I am very pleased with the book and the Alibris service. Thank you.
Love love love my books. Thank you. Super fast and responsive. I ordered five books and they all came within the week. Affordable and in good shape.
Quick and not Amazon!
Hey friend had a bad experience with abebooks.
Had books, recent and older, that other used books websites simply did not carry. Almost too much variety. I added toy Wishlist and bought what I could afford today. Quite satisfied.
Fast and easy! Looking forward to viewing and enjoying this excellent series.
Happy to get the book, although it arrived too late for me to take on my trip. I had hoped to have it so I could identify the birds I was going to be seeing. Alas, I left before it arrived. I will have it for reference for next time.
Excellent! The follow up was good really Albris take care of customer.
They wanted to know if I received my order wich appen as accordignly to time predicted
My copy of this essential guide to playing the mandolin arrived promptly and in better condition than I expected. It's a pleasure to do business with Alibris—I look forward to ordering from them again and highly recommend this seller.
This Order was fulfilled in a timely manner. The Book condition was as described. I Will use Alibris again.
I have always found Alibris to be an excellent site to use both for an alternative source and for excellent pricing.
Delivery was good. Not sure why you'd ask for a review so soon. And still ask for 100 words to describe whatever it is you wanted described after asking if I received my book, but here goes. Don't ask me to review. I will not be doing this again after this purchase. I really like getting books from here but will no longer answer this. Thanks for the book.
Ok Don't force me to write 100 characters it was ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok this sitejab sucks it will make me think twice about buying from you again.
I've been looking for this book for a long time. I finally found it at the price that's just right.
Shipping cost might be a little high, but books are great quality and arrived within a week. Very satisfied.
Very good selection and pricing., I am not happy with the shipping cost but understand it's not under your control.
Best prices! I have searched many websites for the best prices and none have come close to Alibris.
I love shopping for books on Alibris!
The prices are unbeatable and if you buy over a certain amount you get free shipping!
Just wish the shipping speed could be a little quicker…
All good, just as described. Book condition, ordering ease and secured shipping. Easy navigation of site to find books and authors desired.
Variety of books offered and sellers makes it easy to find what I'm looking for
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

If you send us the details with your order number in an email to [email protected] we can look into the specifics for you. Thank you for writing. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service

Answer: HI Zoila, Delivery timeframes within the States are usually between 3 and 8 days, but it depends on where the seller is that is shipping the item to you. If you have already placed an order, please contact us at [email protected] with your order details and we can investigate for you. Thank you for writing. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service
Answer: Really Michael, contact you directly? Why should we have to. There is a bad trend here. Seems MANY of us contact you and you DONT respond
Answer: I saw the fake stellar reviews and did not dig deeper. I til... I had an issue. Initially, I wanted to give a small seller some business after COVID and the site looked really good. What a big mistake that was! Shame on this outfit.
